Bold and the Beautiful

I know, I know...I've been VERY neglectful of my blog! Can you feel the guilt! Well, I promise I will bring you daily fashion and sale updates from now on! :)

Today's outfit comes courtesy of Old Navy and Urban Outfitters. Don't you just love Old Navy!? I'm very happy that they have gone to an East Coast Indie feel with their clothing! I LOVE bright colors and happy prints!

This Spring, pants are going to come in all shapes and sizes. Straight leg is still popular, but now you will be rolling up the ankle to the smallest part (right above the ankle bone) and wearing them with flats or short heels. Also popular...Wide Leg! These pants are High Waisted and should be worn with platforms and have creased legs. I will be showing you these pants tomorrow.

Colored Jeans are BIG this season! You can find them in pastels and brights. I found this great pair of straight leg jeans in a Burgundy which looks great on all skin tones. Pair Straight Leg Pants with a billowy top and a complementary vest that cinches at the waist. The "perfect" pair of low heels complements the outfit and also elongates the legs. Add your favorite bracelets and you're ready for a lunch date with the girls!

Lace and Ruffles

Oh how I love lace and ruffles! The Spring of 2012 will be full of both of these AND pastels...I can't wait!

Today I've taken the lace top in cream and added feminine details along with pops of color. I know that most women are reluctant of lace because most of us relate this to our grandmas! Today's lace is sheer and has a very sexy feel. I especially love this look because it isn't too flashy yet the ruffles in the heels and scalloped hem of the skirt make it pop! There is so much texture to this outfit that you really don't have to go overboard with color.

Cropped Sweaters

You've probably gone to your favorite store lately and tried on some amazingly chunky knit beautiful sweater just to find that it's super short...did the mid drift come back and I wasn't aware? No, the minute belly buttons are popular again I'm officially done with my fashion love affair!

This look requires some layering which if your like me, you tend to invite with open arms! First lets start with the chunky sweater. These sweaters can be found anywhere, Old Navy, Buckle, JCPenny just to name a few. Find one in a neutral color (White, Black, or Gray). Then find a long boyfriend button up shirt that is sheer. This will add a feminine factor and also lighten the look. Anchor this with a pair of crop clacks, preferably with pleats which is elongating. Wedge heels will even out this look.

Just remember to have fun with your wardrobe and try a new look, you never now how great your body will look until you try!

Big Fashion, Low Budget

Black Friday is only one week away! Are you shopping for great deals or staying home to recover from your food hangover? I haven't decided yet, but I do love all the stores that are offering their Black Friday prices two days early to card holders...like OLD NAVY!

Go on over to http://www.gobblepalooza.com/ to check out all the great deals! I'll be heading over to the sweaters for $15 and basics for only $5! At the website you can even make a list of all the deals you want to pick up so you don't miss out on anything! The only rule is that you HAVE to use your Old Navy card to get the deals early.

If you know of any fashion deals going on let me know and I will be sure to give you all the details so you can shop without feeling overwhelmed!

Hair Dilemma!

Here's the deal, I have a hair dilemma! For the first time in my life I have no clue what I want to do with my hair! I've had hundreds of styles and colors, but now I can't come to a decision. So I need your help! ...please :D

Here's a few hair styles I've had over the years. Right now my hair is to the middle of my back and a blah brown color. I have natural curls...that I can't stand! If you have any suggestions let me know!












Modern Office Outfit

Tired of wearing the same old outfit to work every day? Switch it up! These pieces are very simple and when you combine them you create a modern and unique outfit!

I love that this outfit is #1. comfy and #2 leg lengthening! For your hair I would pull it up in a high bun and makeup should be minimal.

Kim Kardashian Office Outfit

Please forgive me for shoving yet another Kim Kardashian read down your throat! :) I have to say, the girl can dress!

You may say that you would never wear a pink blazer, but this piece will liven up an otherwise boring ensemble. The trick here is to find a blazer that does NOT have shoulder pads, is single breasted, hits at the hips or longer, and 3/4 sleeves is a great bonus! This blazer (see below) is a perfect find from H&M! You can also pair this blazer with a summer dress for a pretty Spring outfit. Just make sure that your blazer is the only pastel color so not to look like you walked out of the movie '16 Candles'!
